We would love to work with you! You can see films of the events here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.katrinafilm.com/fsjna.wmv<BR/><BR/>http://www.katrinafilm.com/2ndcleanup.wmv<BR/><BR/>Thank you for helping New Orleans and I hope you have a great time while you<BR/>are here in the Crescent City. The tourist<BR/>areas are all "good to go" so a great time<BR/>will be had by all those wishing to do so.<BR/><BR/>Of course, St. Louis Cathedral would be the obvious choice for a traditional Easter vigil. However, from your description<BR/>of what you were looking for, St. Patrick's on Camp Street would likely fit your group better. <BR/><BR/>Here are the links to both:<BR/><BR/>St. Louis Cathedral<BR/>http://stlouiscathedral.org/index.htm<BR/><BR/>St. Patrick's Church<BR/>http://www.oldstpatricks.org/<BR/><BR/>Welcome to New Orleans<BR/>and enjoy your stay!<BR/><BR/>Many people want to know how things are going here.<BR/>For the most part it is business as usual for the <BR/>population that has returned... less than half <BR/>before the storm.<BR/><BR/>Downtown New Orleans, the affluent section of the<BR/>Garden District (St.Charles Ave) and the French Quarter were largely unaffected. <BR/><BR/>These are the areas most tourists see and therefore<BR/>tourists may be dismayed at what all the fuss is about. <BR/>The problem is, the staple of any community ... the working class neighborhoods, were devastated. Lakeview, Chalmette, New Orleans East, Broadmoor, and the much publicized 9th Ward <BR/>were all inundated not so much from the storm itself but the failure of the Army Corps of Engineers to do its job properly. See www.levees.org for more info.<BR/><BR/>I recently did a short tour of Chalmette and the 9th Ward to see the progress. I went there on March 17th. Here is a film of what I saw: http://www.katrinafilm.com/2007March17.wmv<BR/><BR/>Thanks for helping New Orleans!<BR/>Charlie Londonkatrinafilmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083903497501534499noreply@blogger.com
